Features in Previous Releases

Previous releases of Imprivata MDA contained the following new features, enhancements, and fixes.

Added support for lock and log out on charge. When configured with AppConfig, Imprivata MDA detects that the device is charging and will lock the device and/or log the user out of the device and log the user out of apps.

  • Add support for setting a default domain, so the end user does not always have to choose one from the drop-down list before authenticating to Imprivata MDA.

  • Add support for offline authentication. Offline authentication allows a user to log into Imprivata MDA even when the app cannot connect to the Imprivata server. When offline, Imprivata MDA accepts the last validated user credentials, including: proximity card, Imprivata PIN, and username + password.

  • Add support for Microsoft Entra ID domains.

  • Add support for Android 15 devices.

  • Support for external proximity badge readers.

  • Enterprise Access Management Certificate validation. Imprivata MDA 7.15 introduces new SSL configuration flags to enable trusted communication with the Enterprise Access Management (formerly OneSign) server.

  • Add Diagnostic screens for improved troubleshooting and sending logs to Imprivata Support.

  • Add support for Android 14 devices.

  • Add support for Zebra dialer.

    • Integrates with the native Zebra dialer app

    • Allows calls and notifications to work properly on Zebra devices using Imprivata MDA.

    • Calls and notifications will come through when Imprivata MDA is locked.

    • Device Language Settings and Imprivata MDA. In previous releases, Imprivata MDA would use the mobile policy language setting to control the language of the Imprivata MDA app. Beginning with Imprivata MDA 7.14, the language is controlled by the device level localization settings, commonly set in your MDM, not by the mobile policy.
